Madalpinge

Madalpinge is a fictional village and municipality in the northern region of Veridia, a temperate country in the imaginary continent of Aridia. The settlement sits on rolling woodland hills and is bisected by the Lioen River, a tributary of the Arivon. The surrounding landscape combines forests, small farms, and orchards.

The village is depicted as having emerged in the 12th century as a farming community. Early records mention a wooden church from the 13th century and a town square that served as a local market. The name Madalpinge is said to derive from elements in the local language meaning "middle" and "hill."

With about 1,200 residents, Madalpinge has a small but stable population. The local economy is based on agriculture, small-scale crafts, and rural tourism, including hiking routes and seasonal markets. The municipality is governed by a mayor and a nine-member council elected for four-year terms.

The climate is temperate, with mild summers and cool winters and moderate rainfall. The village hosts a parish church with medieval roots and a community cultural center that presents folk music and craft events. An annual harvest festival is the main local celebration and tends to attract visitors from surrounding towns.

Public services include a primary school and a small medical clinic; residents access hospitals and higher-level services in nearby towns. The area is known for its quiet landscapes, forest trails, and opportunities to experience rural heritage.
